New Delhi, April 15 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to travel to Karnataka today to officially open the Sri Guru Bhairavaikya Mandira located at Sri Kshetra Adichunchanagiri in the Mandya district.

The inauguration is scheduled for around 11 a.m., during which the Prime Minister will also deliver a speech addressing attendees.

Additionally, during his visit, PM Modi will collaborate with former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda to launch the book titled “Saundarya Lahari and Shiva Mahimna Stotram”, as reported in an official statement.

The Sri Guru Bhairavaikya Mandira serves as a memorial honoring the esteemed seer, Sri Sri Sri Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji, who was the 71st Pontiff of Sri Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana Math.

Constructed in the distinctive Dravidian architectural style, the Mandira stands as a monument to the legacy and teachings of the late seer.

As stated, this Mandira is intended not only as a site of worship but also as a beacon of motivation for future generations.

Sri Sri Sri Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamiji was highly regarded for his lifelong dedication to societal service, having founded multiple educational institutions and healthcare services.

He strongly advocated that serving society is the greatest form of worship, and his teachings have inspired countless individuals beyond barriers of caste, creed, and region.

On Tuesday, PM Modi had inaugurated a six-lane Delhi-Dehradun expressway, a significant Rs 12,000-crore highway project designed to cut travel time between the two cities from five to six hours down to approximately two to two and a half hours.

This newly opened 213-km access-controlled corridor aims to enhance regional connectivity by linking key towns such as Baghpat, Baraut, Shamli, and Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, before leading to Dehradun. It will also connect with major national highways, including the Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Katra, and Delhi-Meerut expressways.

Prior to this, PM Modi assessed the wildlife corridor on the elevated section of the Economic Corridor in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

During the visit, Union Highways and Transportation Minister Nitin Gadkari, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and Deputy CMs Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak were also in attendance.

An exhibition highlighting the construction process of the wildlife corridor was showcased, during which officials provided updates on the project to the Prime Minister.
